Default Quick horsepower

I just bought my 94 Cobra about a month ago and I've put a Mac cold air intake, Bbk long tube headers, H pipe, and Flowmaster mufflers on it and it's got decent power but I was just wondering what else anybody can recommend that really gives you some bang for your buck. I know different heads and a supercharger are a great horsepower booster but a little out of my price range right now.

Gears sound good. Just curious, do you know how much power you gained (or lost) from your exhaust mods? I'm trying to decide whether to replace my piping. Thanks.

I like the throttle response mainly. Not too much more power but I'm at 6,300 feet here in Colorado Springs so I won't really know till I get it on flat ground. Sounds awsome though.

Yeah your car looks pretty much identical. Same wheels but mine's red. I not posting any pics till I get it painted in three weeks because I got a few dents and the passenger side is keyed.
